Members of his family said that he arrived home about 4:30 p.m. and had been working in the yard at his home 522 Oakwood Ave., when he suffered a chest pain and went to the porch where he sat down for a few minutes and then entered the house and laid down on the bed.
His wife, who is a nurses' aide summoned an ambulance and accompanied him in the ambulance to the hospital, but upon arrival there he had succumbed.
